To develop the 10-Year Health Plan, we had the biggest ever conversation on the future of the National Health Service with over a quarter of a million contributions from the public, staff, and partners including charities and patient groups.

A detailed 10-Year Health Plan engagement report will be published in due course, which will set out the methodology and results of this engagement exercise.
